Joe Gomez injury: Burnley’s Ben Mee defends tackle that broke Liverpool defender’s leg
Burnley’s Ben Mee has wished Joe Gomez well while defending his tackle on the Liverpool player – vowing that comments from Jurgen Klopp will not alter the Clarets style of play.Gomez, who has since penned a new five-and-a-half year deal at Anfield, was left with a leg fracture following Mee’s challenge on him during Burnley’s 3-1 loss to Liverpool at Turf Moor on Wednesday.2

Ben Mee has defended his tackle on Joe Gomez

The 21-year-old full-back, who was stretchered off after just 23 minutes of the Premier League encounter, now faces a six-week spell on the sidelines.And when asked about the matter following Saturdays 1-0 win over Brighton, Mee said: “There was nothing wrong with any of the tackles, maybe one.“You can’t take tackles out of the game, it’s part of the game. I’ve seen Liverpool make tackles and get the crowd up and things like that.“For me, you can play fair, but you can also play hard as well.When asked if his challenge was a fair one, he responded: “I don’t think anything was wrong with my tackle personally.Obviously it was unfortunate what happened and nobody wants to see any players getting injured ever, but I think you play hard, you play fair.2

The Liverpool defender fractured his leg from the resulting challenge

“We’re at the bottom of the table and we need to get out of it, so we’re obviously going to work our socks off to win games.”Klopp acknowledged after the game that Mee’s tackle was “the cleanest” committed by Burnley during the game, but was unhappy with the standard of their challenges overall.He said: “With six or seven yards and then (slide) these times are over.We all want to win football games, and there are different ways of doing it.Somebody has to tell you to stop doing it, make two more steps and make a normal challenge.“The boy with the ball is a bit unlucky because what can happen is what happened to Joe Gomez.I think the referee has to make sure that things like this don’t happen constantly.It’s not how it should be. Let’s play football.”Burnley manager Sean Dyche came out fighting in response to Klopp, commending his players for their tackling and saying only one challenge by Phil Bardsley was “questionable”, while describing Mee’s as “fantastic”.
